JAY’S TYPICAL MEN’S RETREAT (FOUR TALKS)

#1: “What If God Wrote Your Bucket List?”
(This title could be the theme of the entire event)
A challenge for men to see how God’s values are more satisfying than the world’s. Or what’s more important “Swimming with Sharks” or “Leaving a Legacy”? Includes speaker introduction and an ice breaker.

#2: “Be the Dad!”
Surprising, fun, encouraging, and practical hints for connecting with the next generation. Valuable for granddads, father figures, and future dads as well.

#3: “If God Were Your Life Coach”
How to move from your good plan to God’s great plan. Can include a clear gospel presentation.

#4: “The Husband Your Wife Needs”
Prepping to go home to the real world. Secrets and truths learned about marriage over the years. Stuff all guys need to hear. Including newlyweds, older married guys, singles, and so on. (Alternate title: Less nagging, More sex.)
